A report by the “Mashad” Center documented the field execution of 11,409 young men in extrajudicial killings, mostly driven by ethnic motives. Another 14,685 were wounded due to indiscriminate and direct targeting. More than 9,000 young men and women were arbitrarily detained.

A man identified as (S-H) confirmed that his brother was killed by the RSF in July 2024 in the Al-Rumaila neighborhood of Khartoum.
He recounted that his brother was accused of cooperating with the Sudanese army and providing intelligence about RSF positions in the area. He had gone to the central market in southern Khartoum and returned in the evening before being arrested.
He said his brother was accused of verbally relaying information to an intelligence source working in the same market. After a few days in detention, RSF forces shot him, and the family has not been able to locate his burial site.

After months of forced labor preparing food for RSF soldiers, a woman identified as (N) died from severe torture inflicted by RSF members.
A survivor, (B), told “Sudan Tribune” that after the RSF stormed their neighborhood in southern Khartoum, women were forced to cook for the soldiers.
She recalled that RSF soldiers overheard (N) speaking on the phone with her son in Libya, describing the situation. The soldiers accused her of leaking information without verifying who she was talking to.
“She was beaten in front of us, then taken away in a vehicle to an unknown location. We later found out she was in detention,” said (B).
Two months later, they learned of her death in detention due to torture.
